[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] deeselcyde:
The only thing I care about is having the ability to install Google Apps that can only be installed on rooted ROMS. I've read that there are a lot of great apps for rooted ONLY tablets. Also, some of those 3D cube thingy's that have all the app icons on it are kind of cool. I don't know if you can install those on a stock ROM..??
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] jaydubbbbs:
no, it leaves the firmware as is and it simply gives you root access, i.e. administrative control over just about all processes that the tablet is capable of. It also allows you to flash custom ROMS. that method, along with the exynos exploit method ( not possible on 4.1.2), leave you as close to stock as possible . and leaves the official recovery. Someone will undoubtedly correct me if I am wrong, but so long as you don't flash a custom ROM, I believe you can still update through OTA. I know you can through KIES. If you do go with a custom ROM, I'm pretty sure you lose all the touch wiz goodies, like multi screen as another noted above. and likely would have to use ODIN or mobile ODIN to update.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] conan1600:
Custom apps such as multi window manager. Custom roms if you wish. Overclock cpu with tegrak on stock rooted, it does sometimes come in handy to be safely overclocked. personally this tablet is so good off the shelf you dont NEED a custom rom but that overclock is good. Ability to access and change root files such as dolphin preference in order to make it work with flash player. More reliable backups of apps and data with titanium backup. There are a plethera of reasons for rooting a tablet. But do be cautious.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] midas69:
Don't forget you need root for AdAway. You also need root if you want to play around (very dangerous) with the build.prop file to try to install programs that the Play Store says aren't compatible.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Duburrr:
The 3d cube things I think your talking about are scroll effects, like cube, sphere or card stack. You dont need to be rooted for these, you can just download a launcher (nova, apex, adw) from the play store and change the effects in there.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] deeselcyde:
One more question about that link. So once I follow the instructions provided in the link to root my Note 10.1, will I still have the custom ROM? And, will I be able to auto update from Samsung or whoever whenever a new version of the Android ROM comes out? I don't necessarily care about having someones custom ROM, I just want the benefits of using the GAPPS that I wouldn't be able to use if I wasn't rooted.

Thanks.

Hello,

I am having a problem with tethering ever since i started using CM 9.1. When ever i try to watch a youtube video or play a game online on my pc i get this error in the aLogcat and i get disconnected from the server.

As soon as I connect to the game server i get this error and im disconnected from the server. Its not my phone company blocking anything, my girl has the same company and I am able to play the game fine with her iphone wifi tether.

I get the same error no matter if i use wifi tether or bluetoth or usb. Can someone please help me.

Hi there,

Not sure if anyone can help me out here, but I have been looking all day for a thread which I used probably back in october to root my s3, it doesn't use ODIN, and it doesn't trip counter, I think the method involve me transferring some file which gave me temporary root and add some other file to finish the root process. Now i'm trying to help my sister to root her s3, and would like to use the same method because I don't have a PC to use ODIN.

Hey everyone!

I finally got around releasing my game, Wizard Wars.

The game is a fast paced multiplayer game, for two persons on the same device. It's both for phone and tablet.

Check it out, and let me know what you think: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jagdos.wizardwars

I also need some new spell ideas, so bring them!

Thanks :)

Hi

I know, the last post was 3 years ago, but I just discovered the game and I must say I'm more than satisfied with it. We had hours of gameplay with our friends and cousins, we also ran a challenge and a tournament with various rules. Just wanted to congratulate for the great work and if you are still want/able to work on this game in hope of further succes, then I (and we of course :D) would be very pleased to help you with new spell, map or character design ideas, because we don't know programming xD

Wonder if you still up for improvements! :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jaebond:
Is it correct that the OTA update won't happen if you are on a custom or have an unlocked bootloader?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] imnuts:
You can still potentially get the OTA if all you did was unlock the bootloader, but if you are on a custom ROM, then you won't get the update. It may try to flash, but there will be an assert failure when it verifies the system.

Is the only way to freeze the SDM 1.0 apk with Titanium BU? I don't have the paid version so the option isn't available. Any other ways to freeze the apk? Also, there was no option to decline the OTA update so I had to defer. If the SDM is frozen will this stop the request to update once the date that I set up on the defer schedule arrives?

It won't fail just because you have custom recovery. Recovery can process all commands used in the OTA, so it would proceed as long as all the system/file checks were good.

I meant recovery because I thought usually the recovery would say something about invalid signature. ... But as imnuts pointed out I'm wrong. Also a custom ROM isn't guaranteed because clean ROM 1.0 still had the stuff in place to receive the OTA.

In either case since the op removed sdm1.0 now he's safe.

So I found my phone in my pocket had switched itself off or else I'd hit the appropriate buttons accidentally in my pocket to switch the phone off.. So I fired it up and noticed my battery power had dramatically reduced since the last time I'd seen it in the previous few hours. Then over the next few hours the battery level started coming back up when the phone definitely was not charging. It remained completely disconnected. Has anybody seen this before?

I have not tried calibrating my battery yet (should I?) and it is the stock one which cam with my GSM Nexus.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] greyhulk:
I get that it's not a Nexus 4 and it's around $100 more off contract. I also get that the GS3 has more brand awareness, but this is a really awesome phone. I actually think the LG skin is good and adds a lot of functionality over stock Android.

I have a GS3, Note II, iPhone 5, and Lumia 920. This is my favorite phone out of all of them. The screen, feel in the hand, speed, and software touches make it almost a perfect device. Battery life has been good and my only real complaint is that the camera could have been better.

So what's holding it back? Marketing? I know LG has stumbled in the past, but this is not one of those times. I honestly probably wouldn't have even thought to buy the phone if not for the article about Consumer Reports rating it above the iPhone 5 and GS3 in customer satisfaction. I had to see what it was about and fell in love with it right away in the store.

As it stands, I couldn't recommend this phone more highly to people on AT&T who want an Android phone. I would definitely recommend it over the GS3, and that's saying a lot. The lack of activity in these forums, along with the sparse development tells me that it's definitely not getting into enough hands, and that's unfortunate.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mickey4mice:
LG's has a rather tarnished reputation as far as smartphone is concerned, they've had long lines of disappointing and mediocre mid-tier releases over the years plus poor record of software updates. Even with a phone like OG, it's going to take awhile to reboot their image.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Cojam1:

[AT&T LG Optimus G] chrisphoenix7:
I've not been a great fan of LG until this phone. I briefly considered that 3d camera phone from 2011 on AT&T that LG made, but ultimately chose the SII (and I made the right choice; I was one more f-ed up phone from buying an iphone). This phone impressed me in reviews and in stores (the demos blew me away). I chose it against the SIII and the One X and other flagship phones due to it matching what I wanted. I loved most of the SIII, but I hated that it had a physical home button. The one x seemed nice, but I didn't like non expandable storage and an unremovable battery. The only thing I had against the LGOG was the battery being built in; however, everything else about it sold me. I feel that LG has finally made a phone worth it (2 phones counting the Nexus), and have the potential to beat Samsung. However, this is an uphill battle for LG. I personally have known people to pick the SIII just because Samsung is the most widely known. LG will have to fight against that in order to be purchased. Plus, people are more impressed by expensive phones, and sometimes buy the expensive ones because they assume those are the best. I really think that that, oddly enough, is also contributing to the LGOG having slightly lower sales numbers.

Tl;dr

LG has a fight with Samsung due to name recognition, and price drops may have had a negative effect. Many customers don't research phones thoroughly, and buy from a certain brand, or the expensive ones (because you get what you pay for).
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mickey4mice:
I'm happy for getting the phone for only $49, but I can't grasp the reason behind the price drop. OG is their only qualified flagship in years yet they are on sale at the price point of low-end giveaways. Granted it's probably just weekend promo but still, I find it odd to lower the price to this range in a non-holiday season.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] charleswesde:
I think the reasoning behind the price drop is building for the future, if you get your best phone in as many hands possible, the people who by it recommend the brand to others and are more likely to buy lg in the future when its time to upgrade.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bleached45:
I know if any of my friends are looking into a new phone I will put in a good word for the OG. And that is funny because when it came out I originally looked at it and then went "Nah, I still want the One X."

By the time I was able to upgrade, the One X+ was out, at double the price of the OG and I didn't want an outdated phone. Now I'm not saying the One X isn't good, it had just already been replaced by a refresher phone.

I am soo happy with this phone.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] greyhulk:
The Tegra 3 isn't all that great for speed or battery and I can't stand HTC's broken multitasking.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] bleached45:
Half of the reason I made this decision.

I had a Sony Xperia X10 with an ancient 1Ghz snapdragon and then got an Asus Transformer with a Tegra 2...

So I was impressed more by Nvidia/Tegra at the time than Qualcomm/Snapdragon (I know, completely unfair).

But I had been reading everywhere that the S4 Pro was a beast and much better than Tegra 3s.

I don't like Sense anyways and I would have had a custom ROM, so the multitasking wasn't a big deal.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] bobafx:
could it possibly be that the talk of the optimus g pro is throw the prices so low and being released soon. :eek:
[AT&T LG Optimus G] mickey4mice:
Doubt it. If the price stays low in states, doesn't bode well with G launch in Europe, unless LG do a dual tier launch of G & G Pro at the same time, but that's a remote possibility given G is set for March release in EU region.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] greyhulk:
There's always something else around the corner. The Pro is likely months from hitting the U. S. on any carrier.

In all honesty, I'd still choose the G. I prefer the size and the 200mhz overclock would hardly be noticeable.

Speaking critically of the android community for a brief second..

As much as people criticize Apple fans for putting too much value in brand name, a lot of Android fans are really overly zealous Samsung fanboys.

I won't say it's a bad brand or that the phones they make aren't nice.. But, taking a stroll to the Android subreddit you will find a lot of rabid Samsung fanboyism.

We hear less criticism of Samsung these days because they are just that popular.. still I remember as though it were yesterday people wouldn't shut up about how cheap the phones felt, how horrible various aspects of touchwiz were..

And sadly a lot of people won't even consider the LG OG because it's not Samsung.. but, if Samsung were to incorporate some of the LGOG features people would rave over it. I can see it now... slipping the LGOG specs and skin into a Samsung shell and hearing people brag and brag and act as though it Samsung were curing cancer.

Outside of that, honestly at $350 the N4 makes a hell of a deal. Even if you had a contract but, would like to keep your service without signing up for another 2 years would be a nice option.

Besides all of that? Well your average customer is told what to buy really. Speaking as a salesman I can tell you, if you don't know what you are buying, I'll be happy to tell you. (Granted I no longer work in sales but, it was a lesson learned.)

Edit: one final thought. I don't care because I'm honestly just that happy with it..... but, we still don't have an official cm10 port and that hurts us big time.
